A Nativity Project

Chris over at Just a Girl is hosting a "I can make that" Party. This Nativity Scene was given to my mom last Christmas by her friend, Myra. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to make some for this Christmas. The kids and I have been (slowly) working on these since Christmas. I'll show you our progress. How I HOPE mine turn out!
We've painted the pots and heads. Then hot glued the
heads to the bottom of the pots.
Joseph - 2" pot and 1 1/2" wooden ball head
Baby Jesus - 1 1/2" pot and 1/2" wooden ball head

Mary - 2" pot and 1 1/2" wooden ball head


We've still got lots to do to our precious Nativity Scenes. I've got to give my mom's back soon - we'll have to get a move on to get ours done for display and to give to wonderful friends.

Cute! At first I thought those were dressed up Fisher Price people. LOL I love using clay pots for crafts.

You just made my day! My kids were asking for their very own nativity set all day. I was going to get cheapo ones at Dollar Tree, but these are so much cuter - and doubly fun because they're a craft! Thanks for the great idea!!
